GroenewaldLubbe Inc.'s collections deal with the ability to manage your bad debt both locally and internationally. It would be appreciated if you could keep our firm in mind when re-evaluating your current collection panel; or appointing a new collection agent. Thus we would be honoured to do your collections.

Coupled to our specialization and experience in the field, we have come to establish an excellent working relationship and history with trustees as well as auctioneers and auction houses in the Gauteng region. We believe our determination will guarantee yourselves the best possible service available. Our firm's willingness to work on a contingency fee enables us to work nationally with a tight knit network of correspondents.

Specialising in debt recovery, we also pride ourselves on our foreign collection skills. By “foreign”, we mean, the person has incurred debt with your group and either absconded, left the country in search of employment and/or taken an extended holiday.
